about

☼ (português)

«encontro, reunião: visita.
cada disco do quarteto conta a sua história ou as suas histórias da história.
a ideia de encontro ganha uma conotação ou valor de processo criativo: encontro de histórias que são contadas, à vez, pelos quatro músicos, cada qual com a sua grafia sonora, cada qual com a sua sede.
a quem ouve esse corpo, está prometido um novo encontro: a história que dentro de si se monta. e foi nesse quinto encontro que nasceu a ideia de ‘v i s i t a’: corpos ausentes e distantes que se aproximam momentaneamente, que comunicam e transformam, e que depois se afastam imperativamente. assim é a v i s i t a.»

«Não sei se é do momento ou se foi do contexto onde o ouvi e digeri, mas neste disco entrei rapidamente num plano narrativo. À medida que cada composição vai evoluindo e dá lugar à composição seguinte, foi em mim crescendo a ideia de visita, de alguém que chega de longe após longa ausência para se reencontrar com alguém, cuja imagem pretérita ama.
Há o regresso, a saciação, a comunicação e a partida. A imagem ou situação foi esta… e é-me difícil ouvi-lo agora e imaginar algo diferente. Tudo se complica ou simplifica a partir desta imagem.»

Nuno Mangas-Viegas

☼ (english)

«meeting, to meet someone: to visit.
each disc of the quartet tells its story or stories of the story.
the idea of ​​a meeting takes on the connotation or value of a creative process: meeting of stories that are told, in turn, by the four musicians, each with their own sound spelling, each with its thirst.
whoever listens to this body is promised a new encounter: the story that is assembled within itself. and it was in this fifth encounter that the idea of ​​‘v i s i t a' (meeting) was born: absent and distant bodies that come together momentarily, that communicate and transform, and that then imperatively move away. so is the v i s i t a.”

«I don't know if it's from the moment or if it was from the context where I heard and digested it, but on this record I quickly entered a narrative plan. As each composition evolves and gives way to the next composition, the idea of an encounter, a meeting, grew in me, of someone who arrives from afar after a long absence to meet someone whose past image he loves.
There is return, satiation, communication and departure. The image or situation was this… and it's hard for me to hear it now and imagine something different. Everything is complicated or simplified from this image.”
